salt bath and anaesthetise with MS222 of benzocaine
weigh, tag and give GnRH and stitch genital papillae
harvest eggs and milt using dry method
add fertilisation solution (urea and NaCl)
add tannins and proteolytic enzymes to remove stickiness
what to do with carp eggs
incubate eggs in zuger jars for 3d at 23d
transfer to containers for 3-4d at 23degrees and down feed them
when larvae - feed them hard boiled egg yolk or Nauplii of Artemia spp
transport in PVC bags pressurised with O2 to a 0.5-2ha pond
stocking density = 300,000-400,000 larvae/ha
have to allow for temp acclimatisation
how to prep pond for carp
plough, lime and fertilise with poultry manure, plankton sieve and insecticide treatment
feeding of young carp
larvae - feed hard dough 2x/d
advanced fry (4-6w), restock and feed 2mm pellets 1x/d
1 summer fry - in same ponds or overwintering ponds

tenacibaculosis
viruses in carp
spring viremia

marine viruses
viral encephalopathy and retinopathy
how to culture salmonids
10-15degrees
5L/1000kg
incubate eggs at 4-12degrees
when do trout spawn
autumn-spring
when do salmon spawn
autumn-winter
sexual maturity of salmonids
males 2-4y
females 3-6y
how to get gonads from salmonids
stop feeding them 14d before stripping
sedate with MS222
in brown trout - remove ovarian fluid (not in rainbow)
what to do with eggs in salmonids
use male to female ratio 3:1
add water and mix
eggs will harden and macrophyte closes
disinfect eggs with organic iodine compounds within 10h of fertilisation or at eyed staged
remove dead/unfertilised eggs by soaking in 8% NaCl
incubate yolk sac larvae in baskets
what to do with fry in salmonids
keep indoors for 6-8w as light sensitive (2-4h of dark) - feed 12x/d (8% bw/d)
feed juveniles 6-8x/d then 2-4x/d with 40% pro
market size in 12-18m
how to grow out salmonids at sea
transfer juveniles in to sea cages
acclimatise slowly by gradually increasing salinity or feed them high salt
how long til salmonids hatch
at 10degrees:
rainbow trout - 31d
brown trout - 41d
atlantic salmon - 51d
